Delivery of education is expected to improve as the US government has handed over ninety-six renovated classrooms to some selected schools in the counties major cities.

This was revealed at a ceremony meant to celebrate the gains of the first phase of the Secondary Education Expansion for Development (SEED) whilst launching the second phase that will see about two hundred schools being constructed in rural areas across the country.

Speaking to YFM Online, US ambassador Robert Scott said the development will help in improving the quality of education as about forty thousand students will be learning in a decongested environment once the second phase of the project is completed.

“For the first time in Malawi we have combined money meant for health and education together to get a 90 million dollar budget to build these school blocks for students,” explained Scott.

Agness NyaLonje, Minister of Education said provision of a conducive environment for learning is key in promoting equal access to quality education among boys and girls.

US government has renovated and donated classrooms at Mchengautuba Community Day Secondary School where President Lazarus Chakwera was the guest of honour.

In his speech Chakwera said the school was not a handout rather a hand up as education is important to every child and called on the community to be responsible for the donation.
